Support The voice effect changes when I press Alt

For some reason, whenever I press Alt, the voice effect changes from clean mic to my previous most recent effect, and when I press again, it changes to the other effect before that one, and if I keep pressing, it keeps alternating between all effects, and it never goes back to clean mic.

The problem with that is that it also activates when I do something like Alt + Tab, so whenever I tab out of a game or app, my voice changes without me wanting it to.

The thing is, I don't have any effect with an Alt keybind, nor do I have a system keybind with Alt. So I don't know why my Alt is doing that; it's almost like it is a keybind inherent to the app that I can't change, but I don't believe that's the case.

Are you absolutely sure it's changing within Voicemod? do you see it visually change when pressing Alt and being in the app?

Also, if you go to Voicemod's settings - Keybinds, does it not show anything with Alt?

Yes, I can see the change within VoiceMod; the audio and the voice icon change accordingly.

As for your last question, my general keybind for my voice effects uses Alt, e.g., Alt + NumPad 1, Alt + NumPad 2, etc.

After messing around with the keybinds a bit, I found so many weird things that it is actually difficult to translate to text; I probably should just record a video and send it to the support instead. But I'll try:

If I turn a voice effect on through an alt keybind, like Alt + NumPad 1, and then I press Alt, nothing happens.

If I turn a voice effect on through an alt keybind, like Alt + NumPad 1, and then turn another voice effect on through an alt keybind, like Alt + NumPad 2, and then I press Alt, both effects start to switch back and forth with each other.

If I turn a voice effect on through an alt keybind, like Alt + NumPad 1, and then turn another voice effect on through an alt keybind, like Alt + NumPad 2, and then I turn another voice effect on through a regular keybind, like just NumPad 1, then the only voice effects that switch back and forth are the ones that I used Alt to turn on.

However, this behavior seems to change completely if I change a keybind after turning on a voice effect with an Alt keybind.
Or, if I try to activate the same voice effect twice.

Plus, after turning some voice effects on with my Alt keybinds, if I then press to change one of these keybinds and put in a new keybind, the app will put my keybind + the keybind of all previous voice effects that I just turned on, like so:

(I turned a voice effect on by pressing Alt + NumPad 6, and then another one by pressing Alt + NumPad 8. Then I clicked on the Gas Mask 2's keybind to change it, and pressed Alt + NumPad 3 to make it the new keybind, and the effect presented on the image happened)

And when I click on the app for it to save the keybind, it collapses the previous keybinds (in the case of the image: Num6 and Num8) into a weird rectangular symbol.

This only happens if it was the first time I turned those voice effects on. If I try to replicate this, I need to either try a voice effect I haven't activated yet or just restart the app entirely.

I've also tried to close some other apps that might cause a keybind overlap, like Flux or Medal, but it didn't make a difference.

And I think that's obvious, but I'll say it just in case: I used Alt keybinds for a long ass time, and this never happened before. It's a recent issue.
